So they give her a fake heart, and it's *still* not Cyborg enough for you? Can't you ever be *happy* with what you get, damnit? ;)

I heard the new supercomputers at the NSA can already break rot1040.... Oh, technology nowadays! Amazing.

It would make 2009 the Year of the Linu--- ah fuck it.

Apart from that you're exaggerating, YOU LIVE! I'm sure doctors world-wide will be very happy to give a cancer patient as many blood transfusions as he needs after this treatment, if it dramatically improves the chances he survives.

Thank you, sir, for destroying what was left of the Internets.

I'm running Firefox in Mac right now. If it counts, I barely ever restart my macbook (it just goes on standby), so if that counts, Firefox has been running for 7 days (taken into consideration that it's usually in standby at night etc). I currently have 120 tabs open, and albeit it's getting a little slow now, I'm having no problems at all. This is on a new model MacBook Pro 13", 2.26 GHz and 4 GB RAM, Firefox 3.5.2, Mac OS 10.5.8.

I don't know how it works, but in the default Firefox on Ubuntu, I can switch live between Gnash and Adobe Flash by a "plugins" button to the bottom right corner of every window. Maybe it's Ubufox doing that, not sure. Last time I used it it was a little buggy sometimes, but overall it works quite well.

Also, of course, Microsoft wants this in the Linux kernel for their Hyper-V product. So, they want Linux to have their code compiled in. To make it easier for customers, they want every Linux build to have the option of compiling in "Hyper-V enhancements", instead of having to provide their customers with binary builds of Linux, or patches to have them compile it all.

And don't say "they can provide binary modules". If they could, they would've. Apparently this requires some core changes to Linux itself, not solvable by modules.

What the censor is this bullcensor? Grandma never learned about C:\Program Files. Why the censor would she need to learn about /usr? Nowadays, most Linux distro's come with shiny GUI's which do most of the work for you, and everything like finding documents is made *much easier* than it is on Windows now. Especially for grandma. People need to learn the difference between "difficult" and "need to get used to it". And saying a complete rewrite is needed because grandma doesn't understand /usr is... Absurd, to say the least. Get out of your Linux From Scratch shell and start using modern distributions...

I actually think they mean Android, since that's also targeting netbooks and was also made by Google. (Other than that, an OS focusing on speed, simplicity and security isn't big news nowadays, is it...)

Linux, the OS, most generally does *not* include Apache. The default installation doesn't, and only web servers install a web server separately, which in most cases is indeed Apache but it can be lighttpd or a whole range of others too. But my desktop has never ever even seen a trace of Apache, as will most other Ubuntu Desktop installations; it would be too fast an assumption to say Linux installations generally include Apache.

Next to that: On most installations, Apache runs as its own user with all privileges dropped (most distro's do this by default). Therefore, it will be generally impossible to actually intrude the system, which *does* happen with Windows viruses, trojans and worms. It will be severely handicapped and less able to do damage than a standard Windows virus.
